Storage Platform for the Integration for Renewable Energy

This project will increase the region’s Research and Innovation (R&I) capacity by creating a cross border Virtual Research Graduate School in the area of Mass Energy Storage (MES). It will boost collaboration between Research Institutes and SMEs and intensify technological innovation and commercialisation in the region. The project will focus on how the wide-scale deployment of MES can allow very high levels of renewable energy to be integrated into power grids globally. Variable renewable energy (VRE) resources (e.g. wind and wave) cannot be controlled, and require measures such as energy st…
